We accidentally found out that there were more channels available for free on cable on the weekend. My first reaction was “I bet there won’t be anything good on” but I bit my tongue: last night, on Cinemax, several of Kubrick's films in a row. “The Shining” – which I have seen 5 times or so - followed by “Full Metal Jacket” (Vincent!) and “Barry Lyndon”.

I guess you’ve noticed my obsession for Mr. Kubrick... Sort of like the one I have for lemons. :)

Preheat oven to 180ºC/350ºF. Using electric mixer, beat butter in large bowl until fluffy. Beat in 2/3 cup powdered sugar. Add the flour, 1 cup at a time, beating until moist clumps form. Using back of fork (I preferred a spatula), press dough over bottom of nonstick 13x9x2-inch (32.5x22.5x5cm) metal baking pan – I used a regular 20x30cm pan and lined it with baking paper.Bake crust until light golden, about 20 minutes.

Pour lemon filling over hot crust. Bake until filling is set in center and begins to brown on top, about 20 minutes. Transfer pan to rack and cool completely. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

One of my favorite recipes of all TIME. And the odd thing is...I was just thinking about craving them (or lemon pie or key lime pie) as I was going through my Reader. How funny. I made them for the first time back in March (http://tinyurl.com/4t7scp) and it looks like I'll be doing it again tonight:)
